Banana & Vanilla Wafer Icecream Trifle

Updated on

My husband REALLY likes banana pudding, you know the kind that’s layered in a dish with pudding, bananas and vanilla wafers? He also enjoys the Dairy Queen’s banana cream pie blizzard. Well, in honor of father’s day, I wanted to create a twist on that dessert, using our favorite vanilla ice-cream instead.

Amounts are dependent of course, on how many servings you are making.
Crush some vanilla wafers in a baggie.

Then start layering.

LAYER IN THIS ORDER:

Cool Whip

Then I repeated the layers.

 To make it extra pretty, I garnished it on top with a sprinkling of wafers and a banana slice.

Let me tell you, this is a keeper! It was so yummy, and could easily compete with the yumminess of a banana cream pie blizzard.

I love my job as a wife, mother and blogger, but that doesn't mean it's always easy! I'm trying to make my journey a joyful one by keeping my eyes on my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

  2. How simply divine! That looks so easy to do with any sort of pudding and yet it would have a wow factor. I can’t resist things that are creamy and crunchy! I’m going to remember this! Thanks for visiting Quirky Vistas and taking the time to comment today!
